NASA Launches Carbon-Tracking Satellite

This clearly ties in with the thread about China building a tunnel to America. Couldn't NASA just send a letter or something ?

Errrr... and how much CO2 did it take to get the stellite up ther?

Oh never mind...

Del

Del, that will require another launch, so they can observe it!

You beat me to it.

Very little CO2. More like chlorine and related compounds. Delta II launch vehicles use Aerozine 50/N204 hypergolic liquid fuel in the main engine and ammonium perchlorate in the solid-fuel strapons. Nasty stuff.

Oh that makes me feel a LOT better!

What do you think all those fireworks displays will produce today? 60,000 tons of it. What did you think lofts them in the air? Water vapor?

Here, have some eyeless Gulf shrimp, fresh from the barbie, courtesy of British Petroleum. GMO'd corn-on-the-cob? Burgers, laced with bovine growth hormone? Let's toast Monsanto with our iced tea, sweetened with aspartame (does a real number on your immune system but, no worries, it's FDA-approved. That's a load off, ay?).

Don't get your panties in a wad just yet; Delta II exhaust doesn't even make the A-List.
